Investigators looking into the deadly crash of FedEx 80 on March 23, 2009 seize on an important clue: the plane was descending too fast, which explains the hard landing-but was it enough to cause a crash?

    FedEx Express Flight 80 was a scheduled cargo flight from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport in the People's Republic of China, to Narita International Airport in Narita, Chiba Prefecture (near Tokyo), Japan. On March 23, 2009, the McDonnell Douglas MD-11F (N526FE) operating the flight crashed at 6:48 am JST (21:48 UTC, March 22), while attempting a landing on Runway 34L in gusty wind conditions. The aircraft became destabilized at flare and touchdown resulting in an unrecovered "bounced" landing with structural failure of the landing gear and airframe, and came to rest off the runway, inverted, and burning fiercely. The captain and first officer, the jet's only occupants, were both killed, After making an approximately 1,800-mile (1,600 nmi; 2,900 km) overnight flight from Guangzhou, China, the aircrew made an early morning approach to Narita Airport outside Tokyo. Other traffic landing just ahead of the accident aircraft reported "wind shear at an altitude of under 600 meters (2,000 ft)," and this information was relayed to the FedEx aircrew.[3] Surface winds at the time of the accident were reported from 320° at 26 knots (30 mph; 13 m/s; 48 km/h) gusting to 40 knots (46 mph; 21 m/s; 74 km/h). After making a hard landing on runway 34L, the plane bounced three times, coming back down on its nose gear first (a condition called "porpoising") resulting in the loss of directional and altitudinal control. The left wing struck the ground as the gear failed, causing the aircraft to veer to the left, burst into flames and invert as the airframe broke up, and came to rest upside down in the grass to the left of the runway. It took firefighters about two hours to extinguish the blaze, which completely destroyed the aircraft and its contents,The only people on board the aircraft were the Captain, Kevin Kyle Mosley, 54, of Hillsboro, Oregon, and First Officer Anthony Stephen Pino, 49, of San Antonio, Texas. Both pilots were removed to the Japanese Red Cross Narita Hospital (成田赤十字病院 Narita Seki Jūji Byōin) where they were pronounced dead. Captain Mosley, a former United States Marine Corps (1977-1983) fighter pilot, had been with FedEx Express since July 1, 1996 and had accumulated more than 12,800 total career flight hours, including 3,648 hours on the MD-11. First Officer Pino, a former C-5 Galaxy pilot in the United States Air Force (1981-2004), joined FedEx Express in 2006 and had accumulated more than 6,300 total career flight hours, 879 of them on the MD-11. Nobody on the ground was injured.

    It's kinda amazing that humans can bring down thousands of tons of metal on little baby wheels and not have most planes crash in a ball of fire. This accident is what you would expect to happen if planes weren't shockingly well-designed. Too fast, and too low, too quick. Thank goodness MD aircraft are (largely) a thing of the past.

    I was in the air above Narita airport when this happened. I had guessed something serious had happened when I noticed an incredible amount of planes through our planes window by my seat. I said: "I think something is up. There are too many planes flying around us". The craziest thing for me was hearing a very surprising announcement at Narita once my plane landed. I remember seeing so many delayed indications on the boards (I was waiting for a connecting flight). A lady on airport radio announced that flights where delayed "because of a plane crash". At that point, I suspected something serious like a plane crashed happened but to actually hear the announcer use the 'C' word on official airport radio was shocking. The announcement was repeated many times at intervals after that first time but was adjusted by replacing "plane crash" with "an incident" in the following messages.
